#496 of 1073 Re: Passenger seat [nova] by macpro Jan 07, 2009 (3:12 pm)
Replying to: nova (Jan 07, 2009 1:27 pm) The seats do not fold completely flat, there is a slight hump between the seats and the rear cargo area when the seats are down, but you would have absolutely no problems when loading longs objects. Hope this helps!

Replying to: macpro (Jan 06, 2009 5:35 am) My understanding is that they are following guidelines published by JAMA (www.jama.org) which dictate how much and what kind of info can be displayed while driving. Replies to this message: jweaver1 (Jan 18, 2009 1:59 pm)
#498 of 1073 Test drive today - feel not as good as Highlander by bbting Jan 08, 2009 (9:29 pm)
Just test drove a Venza V6 AWD which was really new and had only 16 Km on it. Felt that the engine was bit lagging and not very responsive when I pedalled, and it was not as quiet as a 2009 Highlander I test drove a few weeks back. Any ideas ? Is it because the engine has not been "break-in"ed or the design of the overall tranny of Venza is not as good as the HL because they should be the same engine ? Is it because of the electric power steering that is new to the Venza that makes the feel different? Any one has similar experience ?   Also found there is no SNOW mode or Downhill Assist buttons as found in HL. I know those are really useful in snow and ice road conditions. Seems like Venza handles that automatically and does not leave much manual control to the driver. Any comments on pros and cons about that ?

#500 of 1073 wheels by howie305 Jan 09, 2009 (10:51 am)
Does anyone know if you will be able to get the 6 cylinder model with the 19 inch wheels instead of the 20 inch? Replies to this message: seatoyotasales (Jan 11, 2009 11:27 am)

Replying to: howie305 (Jan 09, 2009 10:51 am) No, the 19" wheels are exclusive to the 4 cyl and vice versa. Also, we are now being told here in Auburn, WA that 4 cyl will not be arriving until April/May. Not sure what the hold up is, no explanation from my sales mgr.
#502 of 1073 Camry wagon? by exit123 Jan 14, 2009 (9:24 am)
Toyota makes a Camry wagon/hatchback and gives it a new name? I thought wagons and hatchbacks didn't sell well anymore. Replies to this message: roho1 (Jan 14, 2009 12:50 pm)

Replying to: CanStacker (Dec 28, 2008 2:02 pm) I'm in one of the flyovers that you rarely consider on these kinds of blogs. You know, where stuff costs lots less and we can breathe our air. Anyway, I'm on the call list for the Venza at the largest Toyota dealership in the metro (no laughing) and I drove the second one on their lot. The first on was sold before I could get there.   My take on availability is that Toyota may be protecting a design they feel is valuable. I noticed the complete lack of advertising and believe it's related to the deflated auto industry. Do any of you think Toyota just may be concerned that a really good design/vehicle could be lost in a sinking idustry? It occurred to me that it might be in their interest to sell a few on word of mouth here and there and then really show-boat the thing when things start to turn around a little.   Perhaps?

Replying to: mxscrkpr (Jan 16, 2009 9:24 pm) Not sure I follow your post. Flyovers? metro-where?   Anyway on availability, there were some good posts a few pages back on it. The last Venza produced was on 12/17 and then the line was shut down. Not sure if production is back up, maybe someone here can comment. They only produced 6300 Venzas in Nov/Dec. So there are basically none available I would say. I'm glad their not advertising a vehicle that is not available. Why spend marketing money when they can sell the few they have now? Maybe they are waiting for the 4 cyl model sometime in the spring (Apr?) to promote which is what the majority of buyers want I think.
